5.0 out of 5 stars Cool..Sexy and Melodic. You can't go wrong with this one!, December 4, 2001

Bob Martinez (Brooksville, FL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: What The World Needs Now: Stan Getz Plays The Burt Bacharach Songbook (Audio CD)

Stan Getz is one of the finest sax players of the last century. Bacharach is one of the finest songwriters. What is there not to like about this great CD. Cool, Sexy, melodic jazz music with lush arrangements including some bossa-nova rhythms. The sound is clean and spacious. A must for any Getz fan! Great make out music too.

This review is from: What The World Needs Now: Stan Getz Plays The Burt Bacharach Songbook (Audio CD)

Originally recorded as a novelty piece aimed at a specific "hip" group in the seventies, it turned out to be a classic. The Bacharach tunes are a perfect vehicle for Stan's smooth delivery. The musician's backing him up are among the best in the business. A must have for true connoissers.

This review is from: What The World Needs Now: Stan Getz Plays The Burt Bacharach Songbook (Audio CD)

The legendary saxaphonist & the great pop songwriter of the 60's & 70's. The songbook is arranged and performed magnificently. Pleasant melodies. You'll want to hum along.
